    No worries, this is why I am here anwar79! 

     

    You should be able to open your Backup page by accessing the home page, clicking on the burger icon on the top left, and then Backup.

     

    Let me know if you need anything else!

Hello,

 

Thanks. Somehow there's a hardisk there that I dont remember enabling backup hence I would be deleting it. 

 

This is exactly what I needed to find. How do I get to this page from the Dropbox website?

 

Thanks!
